From School Library Journal
Gr 1-4-A pleasant introduction. The simply written text briefly covers the history of ballet, famous ballets, a class, basic positions and steps, and what professional dancers do. Watercolor illustrations accentuate each page. This title is a sort of junior edition of Kate Castle's Ballet (Kingfisher, 1996), using many of the same visuals. Children can move up to that more detailed and thorough study once they outgrow Wilkes's book.-Ann W. Moore, Schenectady County Public Library, NY
